Tight Trite Night (STANDARD GUITAR TUNING) by Andy Mckee

[DeadlyPenguinMusic]

You da best mon.

[jaygp20]

Dude those string pops just sound so right I like the standard better and andys playing over don no offense he's an amazing guitarist

[nelsonTheBeat]

I compare this one to the original side to side, Andy motions' are exactly the same! Gawwwd! Not only his hands are the same, but expressions! Epic Andy!

[mwahaha91]

@nelsonTheBeat

Good observation.

[TheWorkFromHomeBiz]

@nelsonTheBeat But in this video he is using 2 steel strings, 4 wound as per standard, the other video was 1 steel, 5 wound.

[TheWorkFromHomeBiz]

 maybe im wrong

[auldstock]

anyone who complains about the pitch is not a guitar player, which is why this guy went to the bother to make this video, (really people read the descriptions, come on!!! ) thanks for the video mwahaha (cool user name too btw :D )

[10Plaguesofficial]

I am lol'ing at the complete idiots who are not getting why you changed the pitch. JHEEZE.

[GameLevelEditor]

Andy has a chuck norris right hand!

[greshambaulf]

You know you just tune a standard guitar down 4 intervals to get the same standard tuning as a baritone right? But otherwise pretty clever idea ^^

[eugenio465]

what is 5 k??

[OscarZielke]

@eugenio465 5000

[harrydeserts]

I have to say, the playing is very alike AndyXD

[fjrsm]

Do you need 5k to tune a guitar, now?

[BobombX]

@fjrsm No, but Baritone tuning sounds shitty on a regular guitar.

[WillGuitar96]

mwahaha91, thanks for posting this I appreciate that.

But (I'm just asking if it's possible), I think that the acoustic and baritone have the same structure, so why not changing the acoustic strings with baritone strings?

*one more time I'm just asking IDK how the baritone works I've never seen one in my life, I've only seen it in youtube*

[nwharerau]

i love how it's mentioned in the titles AND descriptions of each song that this guys transposed the audio for these in STANDARD TUNING (EADGBE)

yet so many people complain that it sounds weird or don't actually get the purpose of it.

seperates the real guitarists from the "audio engineers".

[lolo8313]

thanks for your work mwahaha

i can try to play it now ;)

[Bearsworth8]

Some of the posters are ignorant don't worry about them mwahaha91, we both know whats going on, this is perfect for practice.

[Kendrickchow]

don't worry mwahaha91, no youtube video is immune to retarded comments. good post dude.

what software did you use to download the original video and to transpose this?

[33dave]

Tight Tright Asshole.......................­...This song is about what it feels like to fuck a tight, trite asshole! A hot, blond, 18 year old, FEMALE asshole! Oh yeah..................so fucking sweet!

[mutley2209]

why exactly would you need to dish out 5k to play this song properly? just buy a decent tuner and the tab =P

[aug5ya]

Count five stars!!!Awesome

[ratchet20751]

really?...

[MrSkunkman20]

thanks alot for uploading this song. although i prefer this song played on a baritone guitar, this is just as fantastic. i am still in the intermidiat playin stage at the mo but don ross and andy mckee play so beutifully and the skill involve is just outstandin. if i can play half as good as them 1 day i will die a happy man. amazin thanks for the vid

[xmyownpersonx]

It still is a baritone guitar. Some just changed the pitch. Thats why the audio is kinda screwy. Its the same exact video as the original one.

[PlaydoughRoses]

You mean $12K+... right?

[GetnFunky]

lol no, this aint a greenfield

[FlabberFlob]

thanks for uploading this one, really useful.

[mockhazzard]

wtf is this just the normal video with a change in pitch? sounds all wavy in the audio.

[mwahaha91]

That's exactly what it is. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

[jaffijoe]

You can always tune down using optimal gauges for each string. It takes some time, but each guitar has strings that it likes at different freqs. You just have to find it... (the tone).

[adrinterista]

FUCK MY ASS

[JumpingJax13]

I think you do

[selinamas]

awesome it's sooooooo cool

[Ford4Lyfe7]

Andy Mckee is a little better than Don Ross........ Sorry to say

[T87356]

hmm you cant say that he is better^^ they have two different styles of playing but i like andy more, too :)

[IUbeatPurdue]

Don Ross is the innovator. And their styles are very close, but Donboy has more versatility *in my opinion*

virtuoso!

[veggieburgerfish]

I think Don Ross plays with much more feeling than andy, although technically andy is more precise, don is much more expressive and no doubt a better writer than andy. Andy is better at his own songs I think and in ways just as good as don at don's songs, but the songs themselves, I think don's are way better.

One thing is for certain, when they duet it is the PERFECT combo, the small weaknesses of each are both erased...

[L0wps]

that's funny, IMO it's the other way around. while Don has a huge amount of experience (both in song writing and playing), i think Andy has much greater skill in writing "from the heart" (cheese, sry), kind of hearing a tune in his head and painting a picture with the notes, you know? so while many of don's songs have "junk" titles like this one, mckee's always show what the song is meant to express (hovercar, gnomeria, shanghai, amusement park, etc). Don prefers andy's version over his!

[Muzikman127]

Well, I agree with veggieburgerfish, but that be something to do with that it's my old account :p

[tpritchas14]

agreed

[dmanfromm]

almost. it's BEADF#B, each string is lower by a perfect fourth.

[Rael0505]

How exactly did you increase the pitch without changing the tempo? I'd like to do this with more of his songs.

Thanks!

[tomgamble100]

thanks very much, this is very helpful

[TylerStep]

I don't think Andy recorded this two times. I think somebody took the original and tampered with it to make a higher pitched sound. Notice Andy's facial expressions in this video and the original... They are the same.

[mwahaha91]

Read the description please.

My Goodness.

[TylerStep]

My bad.

[EastCoast515]

Y'dont say????????

[dankhanks]

@TylerStep LOLOL recorded 2 times...... HAHAHHAHAHAH priceless. fuckin retard.

[willtolive]

I definitely think Andy is good.

However, I think this song is pretty repetitive and redundant (no pun intended)lol. Other than a few changes in the song, it is basically one lick over and over again.

Check out Patrick Woods...same sort of stuff, but more elaborate (technically) and colorful in my opinion.

Rock on Andy

[ransan6025]

Whatever was done to this song on conversion is a real disservice to Andy McKee. Baritone is much much better than this.

[xiaosainzboy]

The point of this is to raise the tone of his guitar so that people who don't own a baritone or cannot drop their strings to the proper tuning can learn this song.

[ransan6025]

Yeah I get that.

[k00lguy202]

If you get it, why post it's a disservice to him when it's meant to be a help to us? You contradict yourself.

[ransan6025]

Getting why it was done doesn't mean I agree with doing it with this title "Tight Trite Night (STANDARD GUITAR TUNING) by Andy Mckee". That is not a contradiction.

[Rael0505]

What, you're complaining about the title? Don't you have better things to worry about?

[lilmark816]

Don ross has said he actually like andy's version much more then his, thats why andy always leads with this song now..

[smithjer015]

i like better tuned down but still very nice

[LeopoldIX]

this should have been an answer to itschris7419 s post, don't know why it came up here...

[phoenixprotector]

tell me something mwahaha, this version isn't andy's right? it's not him playing right?

[geetarwanabe]

yes its andy playing thats a wierd one to ask lol. but its don ross's song, they normally do a duet together and so andy plays the part he would normally play in the duet ^^^^^ which is whats up there. i think with some improv maybe

[geetarwanabe]

although now that i read it again.. the audio has changed from the rpoland version but i think thats just due to the conversion from the software. also cause tight trite night isnt in standard guitar tuning so mwahaha91 has adgusted the pitch of the song when he shoulda left it alone!

[Peetahwithhisgeetah]

why's it say by andy mckee? its by don ross, i know andy mckee's playing it and he transposed it or whatever but its still by don ross

[phoenixprotector]

andy always make sure to make that clear. the title is messed up :/ peace

[itschris7419]

The reason that it sounds so bad is because for some reason the person who puts this up wants us to believe that it is in standard tuning when it isn't - he's just pitch shifted the audio up, and that tends to screw the sound up sometimes like here - why have you done that?

[mwahaha91]

Read the description plese before assuming.

[LeopoldIX]

you're right!

[walkingwithjc]

@itschris7419

yo man.... i've learnt this song... and its in standard tuning bro O___O

[guisteh]

the sound is bad on this vid!

[jorge0luiz]

plz if someone hava the tabs of this song (in the two tunning)plz email me

[jorge0luiz]

i really need the tabs of this song

[RustyCyler]

jorge0luiz, go to candyrat dotcom for the tab

[jados6]

but for getting tabs from candyrat u have to pay money....

[darkbol10]

Could someone give me a hint in order to tap like him with the left hand ; I only know one cover who does that on utube covers...

Thanks !!!

[RustyCyler]

do you mean his right hand perhaps ?

[darkbol10]

nope his left hand... it's a kind of 2 ghost notes 1 slap with right thumb then 1 ghost... I can make it through slowly so I'm keeping on working on it...

[RustyCyler]

I just muffle the G B E strings and give it a quick muted strum. Its funky thats for sure.

[121jigawatts]

No offense to the poster, but I think this song sounds way better and jazzier in the baritone format. Same with any of the baritone songs Andy does. I would love to play this but don't have cash to fork out $6k for a Lowdon baritone. Andy kicks fanny!

[farmb0y]

hey man, just a little fact here:

mwahaha91 posted this version so that we guitarists who can't afford a baritone could find the joys of learning the song by watching a standard tuning version of this song.

He didn't post it because he thought it'd sound better in standard, he posted it for the poor folk who can't afford a baritone :)

Peace.

[JamesGregory2007]

Fantastic! (Does anyone know what the brand and model are for the stereo mic he is using?)

[mwahaha91]

I think it's a Rode.

[RustyCyler]

hey man thanks for the standard tuning audio fix, it makes it a hellava lot easier for us guys trying to learn this song. 5 stars

[avimechad]

Wow, the video is exactly the same, it's just the original audio that was modulated to sound that way.

[lOllAN4president]

he picks the harmonics in the 7th fret. then he lifts the guitar and the sound changes for a second...does someone know the name of this technique??^^ thx

vote for me

[EtherTrace]

well, the musical term is vibrato, but I'm not sure if there's a term for its usage in guitar. The only reason I know that is because Andy made mention of it in the liner notes for Nakagawa-san: "In this tune I tried to emulate parts of Isato's style, particularly his guitar vibrato, by shaking the entire guitar."

[6ixstringed]

Yeah the technique is called 'vibrato', but usually by that you mean just vibrating the strings individually. What Andy does (haven't really checked in this vid but it's the usual technique and it works) is grabbing the end of the neck, and applying some pressure, thus bending the neck (either towards you or in the other direction, or move back and forth between the two). Because you bend the neck, the string tension and thus tone changes. Don't be too afraid, your guitar can handle it :)

[Dulce292]

its called a pitch bend

[Dulce292]

damn you tube... this was meant as a reply to lOllAN4president

[paddybutts]

i thought it was fairly obvious what my previous comment meant. It doesnt take the brightest of people to figure that one out, despite the mistake.

Well done!

[paddybutts]

buckleyboy, he doesn't a thumb pick.

[NessTea123]

english

[buckleyboy666]

I freakin love this tune, makes me wanna break things :D

[buckleyboy666]

He most be using an acrylic nail, does anyone know for sure? The thumb hits he pops towards the end are insane, he pops the string so hard it lengthens the string and the pitch drops. Music man what a trip :P

[just6822]

Actually, that's his natural nail. He doesn't grow nails on his fingers because of tapping, but he grows the one on his thumb. Not acrylic :D

[xorn21]

Hey this tuning sounds pretty good!

[6RE66Y13OY]

all these so called celebrities from winning Big Brother & stuff in our faces every day..

This guy actually does have talent. more please..

[wfguth]

Andy:

You do this piece justice.

Wayne

[just6822]

I love how he just BLASTS through those insanely difficult chords. He sticks em on there in split seconds, gotta love the guy

[kc2207]

He's not making that buzzing sound, it's from the sound quality. This video was transposed from the original baritone tuning into standard tuning. And it's a baritone guitar which has a longer scale length, that's why it has so many frets. I learned this song not long ago and I can't play it without the head bob either haha. It's just got such groove you gotta move ya know. Keep on rockin' dude.

[just6822]

I'd love to see you play this, why not record a video?

[ELVGBacareza]

how in gods green earth does he make that buzz sound!!!!!!!!!

[wonderbread089]

hes so good at his percussion and rhythm

[Sidedith]

I'm probably the only kid who keeps an eye on the fretboard, playing peek-a-boo with the thumb, right? xD

[onegrayghost]

Wow Mr. Mckee, that's quite the guitar ya go yerself there! 22 frets! (or did i miscunt and there's more?)

[ELVGBacareza]

can anyone figure out how his fingerstyle works?

[luke23waltz]

thanks man for putting it in standard tuning makes it alot easier to learn now.

[bigdood]

HELL YES! Dude, that is some serious beat-pickin'! Absolutely the best "amateur" version of this style on YouTube -- you have earned a spot in the Acoustic Virtuosity Archives elite FIVE STAR YouTube Artists category, CONGRATS! (click bigdood-Playlists-FIVE STAR YouTuve Artists!). Great work! :-D

[wallis222]

This isn't amature, Andy Mckee has the most viewed musical related video on youtube, with nearly 8 million views; the song is called Drifting. Andy McKee plays like a pro and is regarded as a pro, certainly not an amature.

[bigdood]

The category is called FIVE STAR YOUTUBE ARTISTS... and as such will contain music from pros and amateurs alike. The reason I called this an "amateur" version is it is OBVIOUSLY an impromptu set-up made for YouTube... NOT a studio-produced PROFESSIONAL version. I know who Andy McKee is, for God's sake. :-/

[wallis222]

Possibly "live version" would have expressed what you were trying to say more clearly?

[bigdood]

listen here, fuzznuts... they are ALL live versions on YouTube OR professional concerts (duh)... quit trying to pick fly sh** out of the grain bin -- shuddup and enjoy the freakin' music and stop getting wrapped up in single-word semantics... I don't see people flocking to your bloody page to enjoy this type of music, and I don't see you creating ANYTHING on YouTube except consternation.

[wallis222]

Calm down big fellow, I was mearly trying to explain to you that Andy is a professional; as I had gathered from you first post that you regarded him as an amature. My comments on this video, up to this point, have not been negative or disruptive; and it seems that you are the one causing quandary. I would also like to state that this will be my last comment in this ridiculous conversation.

[heddykevy]

Everything was pre-meditated...background, guitar, mic/camera placement, and I would be surprised if the audio hasn't been mastered in some way. Candyrat may not be a large label, but this is a professional setup any way you look at it.

[OceanOracle]

You know how much trouble you've saved me!

I've been looking for a Baritone guitar for a while, they're quite rare in England apparently.

I even considered buying a Variax acoustic for the custom tuning options. That was until I realised hitting the body makes no sound at all. Songs like Drifting sounded really bad in the shop.

[ceezsb]

Holy shit, my two favorite Mckee video's in standard tuning. Thanks! Im halfway through Ebon Coast now.

[thomms123]

Very cool. Nicely done
